Radio Ireland
This morning was my interview for the RTE radio series on Mary Magdalene. I spent an hour and a half in the KUOW studio in Seattle talking with Gerry McArdle, who is putting together the series. It seemed to go well, I had had a chance to prepare my responses ahead of time, so hopefully it will come off halfway intelligent. Gerry is putting together the show a little like the television documentaries that we see on the history channel, with a narrative woven together with talking head segments. I'm going to be a talking head. I'm hoping that at least some of the material from my interview will be useful and that I'll end up being included in the final product.

The coolest thing of all was the praise Gerry had for my book. He told me that he wished he had found my book earlier on in his research because it ended up being instrumental in putting together the series. Indeed, his list of interview questions for all of the participants had many items that appeared to be taken directly from my book. That's pretty satisfying. :-)

I'll post more when I find out the date it will air. Maybe it will be streamed online too.
